These are pretty good, but I didn't really taste the vanilla, and the dark chocolate overpowered the cherry flavor (I suspect I used more chocolate than recommended since I spooned the chocolate over the cherries instead of dipping them). DH loves them (he's a big fan of dark chocolate). I used Hershey's Special Dark chocolate chips (no chopping involved!).
Love how simple this recipe is to make and its done without high fructose corn syrup and other preservatives. Most difficult part was pitting the cherries. I found that slicing in X in the bottom of the cherry then gently squeezing out the seed to be the easiest and quickest method. You may want to wear gloves because the juice will stain your cuticles. I did half with vanilla extract and half with cherry extract to bring out the cherry flavor. Just go easy on the cherry extract...too much will give it a cough syrup flavor.
After reading the reviews about the difficulty in pitting the cherries, I decided to simply melt chocolate and dip the cherries in them, skipping the whole sugar and vanilla extract part. They tasted great! I used milk chocolate on half and then tried semi-sweet on the other half. I liked the milk chocolate better while my boyfriend liked both equally. Yes, you do have to spit out the pit this way, but it wasn't a big deal for us.

Where the sun don't shine: Residents, kids cry foul at rule banning unsupervised play outside
NAPLES - When Tony Stein's children come home from school, they retreat to separate parts of their East Naples condo.
His 8-year-old turns on the TV. The 6-year-old plays on the computer. His 2-year-old sticks to her father's side, talking and talking.
Stein's 12-year-old son wants to play outside, but minors aren't permitted outdoors without adult supervision at Olé at Lely Resort. It's a rule that's been in the condo association's declaration since the development opened, but only recently has it been enforced.
Now that it is, some residents are crying foul and say they want out of the community.
"It disturbing," Stein, 44, said. "Maybe this should have been a 55-and-over community the way they act. They don't like kids."
But the community's developer, The Gateway Group, said "community association must impartially enforce the rules found in the governing documents," according to a statement to NBC-2. The Olé declaration of condominium says "all occupants under 18 years of age shall be closely supervised at all times by an adult to insure that they do not become a source of annoyance for other residents."
"We hope to have the situation resolved soon to everyone's satisfaction and to ensure the comfort and safety of all residents," The Gateway Group said in its statement.
That resolution might not come soon enough for Stein, who plans to move when his lease ends in June.
His son recently had friends over to play in the grass behind their home, he said. Security guards, who patrol Olé's manicured streets in golf carts, told the kids who didn't live in the neighborhood they had to leave, even though Stein claimed them as his guests.
"I called Gateway and asked 'What am I supposed to do? Keep my kids inside for two months?'" Stein said. "They said that would be a good idea."
Nadia Mihyar, 31, another Olé resident, said her two sons, 12 and 10, were stopped by security guards while walking home two weeks ago. Mihyar was driving behind her sons when she saw the guards, and told them she was the parent. The incident has scarred her children, she said.
"They're so nervous," Mihyar said. "I'm going to have to move. I can't stay here."
The community is in the midst of a management transition, and the condo association will assume the property from the developer next month, residents said. An employee at the administrative offices of Olé declined comment.
Steve Adamczyk, an attorney who specializes in condo and homeowner association law, said condo associations are not allowed to discriminate against families for having children and that the only age restrictions they can dictate are for communities for residents age 55 and over.
Because the condo's declaration includes a statement about minors, the condo board is allowed to adopt the rule, he said. But because the rule is difficult to enforce, it may not be reasonable. Reasonable rules, Adamczyk said, protect the health, safety and welfare of a community.
"What does 'closely supervised' mean? You can watch your kid drive away to school? The kid can't walk to his car to get his keys? Is it OK to watch them from the window?" Adamczyk asked.
Parents and homeowners in Olé could voice their opinions at board meetings, recall the board or challenge the rule through arbitration with the state division of condominiums, he said.
Annoyances at Olé have not reached a criminal level according to reports from the Collier County Sheriff's Office, which has only dispatched deputies to the community once this year for an incident involving a minor. In that case, a child was reported missing, but was quickly located, a department spokeswoman said.
Some older residents of the community were surprised to learn the rule existed. Aside from the occasional case of kids riding their bikes late at night or around the pool, they said they haven't been annoyed by children at Olé, supervised or otherwise.
"It's absurd," said Iggy Giangregorio, 63, whose grandchildren visit him from time to time. "Parents should use good judgement."
Resident Dwight Gammons, 79, said the rule will likely be reevaluated when the condo association assumes control of the community from the developer and residents have more say.
"This is not a senior place to live," Gammons said. "It's a mixed group. And we like that."

Today, a fresh crop of 102 nanotech class 977 patent publications were published at the US PTO. The total now for 2012 is 1,249, which projects to the end of the year to be 3,608. If this continues through 2012, it will be another record year for publishing nanotech 977 patent applications. The numbers go up each year: last year 2011 was 3,439; the year before 2,770 (2010); and before than 1,499 (2009). Hence, the number has more than doubled in but two years.
The 977 nanotech patent applications cover the gamut of nanotech commercial application spaces including personalized medicine, cleantech, defense, semiconductors, and the like. See, for example, US Pat. Pub. 2012/0088235 published April 12, 2012 for rapid DNA sequencing, which is critical to personalized medicine.
Hopefully, government is working with venture capital on how best to adapt the investment systems for commercializing nanotech innovations (e.g., technology transfer from universities and federal labs, including the Bayh-Dole system). Otherwise, many opportunities will be wasted.

Bradley Beal had an inkling that he was about to be demoted. The Wizards are without a win. He was struggling to make a shot. And Jordan Crawford, fully recovered from a left ankle injury, had been slightly more productive in fewer minutes.
Still, understanding the frailty of confidence in the NBA – especially with young players still searching for an identity – Coach Randy Wittman wanted to delicately handle the benching of his promising rookie. When the team returned to Washington from a loss in Dallas, Wittman gave Beal a warning with an explanation.
"He told me straight up. He said he was going to make changes," Beal said of Wittman. "He was like, 'I don't know who it's going to be.' He said, 'If I do chose to bring you off the bench, don't take it personal. Don't feel as though I'm punishing you.' "
Beal, the third overall pick of the draft, accepted the change without getting down, coming off the bench on Saturday to score six points in an eight-minute burst in the first half of the Wizards' 83-76 loss to the Utah Jazz.
"That was his change," Beal said of Wittman. "It was just unfortunate we came out with a loss."
Wittman plans to stick with Crawford at starting shooting guard as the Wizards prepare to host the Indiana Pacers on Monday at Verizon Center. Crawford has led the team in scoring and assists in each of the past two games, averaging 20.5 points and 7.5 assists.
"Whatever coach asks," Crawford said. "If he asks me to handle the ball, handle the ball. If he asks me to score, score. Simple as that."
Crawford has been the Wizards' most efficient player through the first seven games, leading the team in scoring (12.4), while adding four assists and 3.5 rebounds. His 16.9 player efficiency rating is the highest among players averaging at least 10 minutes per game. Emeka Okafor (16.1) and Trevor Ariza (14.2) are second and third, respectively. Beal has the second-lowest rating, just above Jan Vesely, at 10.2.
"It's about the team, it's not about individuals," Wittman said. "As a coach, you're trying different things, to try to find some semblance of balance. We don't have any balance right now. In a perfect world, I'd like eight or nine guys and play them every night. They know when they're coming in, who's starting, who's coming off the bench. I'm sometimes right now, not knowing who's going to play tonight. Who's up, who's down. We just don't have the consistency really of anybody."
Beal is averaging 10.9 points on just 33.3 percent shooting and has been up and down, playing with a defensive-minded starting unit with few offensive options to take any pressure off of him. A Western Conference scout recently said the book on Beal is simply to crowd him, and Beal had fallen into the trap of settling for long jumpers rather than attacking the basket for layups, tip-ins or free throws.
In losses to Charlotte and Dallas, Beal combined to shoot 4 of 25 from the field and 3 for 12 from three-point range. Beal took a different approach in the first half against Utah, making his first three shots by getting closer to the rim. He also had a two-hand dunk. He shot better than 45 percent in a game for just the third time this season, finishing 3 for 6 from the field.
"That's what Coach Witt told me, that I actually took his advice on," Beal said. "When you feel as though you cant get a rhythm, start inside first then work out. I saw they were giving me opportunities near the basket and I was just being aggressive and strong."
Without the burden of being the primary offensive weapon, Beal might be able to ease himself into a better rhythm and develop more confidence as a reserve. Until the Wizards find a rotation that actually works – and win a game or two – Wittman could easily make more changes to his lineups along the way.
"It was fine with me," Beal said of coming off the bench. "It didn't faze me either way – as long as I get to play; as long as we try to get the win. I've been the same person I've been. It's not going to affect me either way."

Throughout the galaxy there are hundreds of female Green Lanterns serving the Corps. Among the most famous have been Katma Tui and Arisia - when one thinks of iconic Green Lanterns their names are mentioned. Uncharacteristically Space Sector 2814 has produced four Green Lanterns serving concurrently at the same time - Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, John Stewart and Kyle Rayner. As far as my understanding the ring or the Guardians will seek out a new corps member when one is needed, but an earth woman is rarely chosen. The source of power for the ring has little to do with the physical makeup of the person wielding it, as it is based on creativity and willpower, therefore a man has no real advantage when it comes to the ability to wield it. On four successive occasions a male has been chosen yet there are many non-males which are chosen across the universe. The reasoning is not the career of the person wielding it either - from earth there is test pilot, Marine, teacher and artist.
I understand that it is a bit of comic based logic thing, the original in the role was a man, and therefore each successive character is easier to cast as male. Also with already three more GLs on earth than usual it would be hard to cast a female here. I also know that there has been Donna Parker, Jennie Lynn Hayden and Anya Savenlovish but these were all for a relatively short time. I am not saying to erase a character or to add more, but the next time the ring is vacant wouldn't an earth woman maybe make a good choice?

In this soap economy I'm just glad she actually got an acting job. I don't watch GH, but I will tune in to see her |
Manny | Apr 27 2009, 01:23 PM Post #5 |
OMG, if this is true, I am actually intrigued.. and I think I would actually tune in to Crappy Hospital to see her. |

Y&RWorldTurner | Apr 27 2009, 01:46 PM Post #9 |
Sharongate, bitches!
I'm happy Martha is working, but really, this just seems like a small recurring role anyway. |
Kenny | Apr 27 2009, 02:12 PM Post #10 |
I've never been to SOL's MySpace page. Is it reliable? Anyway, this is kind of odd. For some reason, I can't really picture Martha on GH and I have no clue who Mayor Floyd is, LoL. This is a nice little coup for them though. What happened to her writing career at B&B? |
Kenny | Apr 27 2009, 02:16 PM Post #11 |
Hmm... SOAPnet is reporting this too. Byrne to GH This is just weird, LoL. GH is a mess. Why would she agree to join that disaster soap? |
hawk_osu | Apr 27 2009, 02:17 PM Post #12 |
I believe the Mayor is played by "Something Borger" he an adult Phillip recast at one point. It will be interesting to see Martha on GH...I wonder if this could mean something more on down the road? |
hawk_osu | Apr 27 2009, 02:18 PM Post #13 |
Plus, like Rick said...money is money and Martha got babies to feed! |
daysfan | Apr 27 2009, 02:56 PM Post #14 |
And if it isn't, I'm sure her character will die within a year. :P |

Punk Cabaret is Freedom
Wow this is weird and random. Mayor Floyd isn't even a regular character, so I wonder why he's getting a wife, lol! Either way, I'm excited to see where this goes. I'm actually enjoying GH right now. |
OneBadKitty | Apr 27 2009, 03:36 PM Post #16 |
I can see the mayor getting more airtime especially if they go through with the murder of Ric Lansing. |

What happened at B&B? Is Bradley Bell just as fickle with his writers as he is with his cast? Bryne didn't last long at B&B or is she doing double duty at both soaps? Wonders never cease!!! |
PhoenixRising05 | Apr 28 2009, 12:40 AM Post #20 |
Happy she has found work on a soap or anywhere for that matter. Glad she will continue to write. Figured she would. I don't think GH is the worst it's been but it's pretty bad right now. I am intrigued by her role and can't wait to see her. Between her and Emma Samms, I will be into GH in May. Hopefully, the material is good. This is quite the surprise though. Never expected her on GH and it's hard for me to even imagine it. Edited by PhoenixRising05, Apr 28 2009, 12:41 AM.

Bosch, Susanne (2010) Hucha de deseos: We are all one neighborhood, act! [Artefact]
This is the latest version of this item.
URL: http://madridabierto.com/en/artistical-interventions/2009/susanne-bosch.html
12 November 2009 - 28 February 2010Location: Plaza Puerta de Moros and entire La Latina neighborhood. Every banknote carries a trade value, but also a potential future value (saving for the next holidays, for the desired car...). Every conversation carries the potential of a future business, a new invention, a new task, a chance.Everyone carries an unused potential, an idea in mind, an observation, an untold story or observation, unused old coins in a drawer at home. The public art project Hucha de deseos: ¡Todos somos un barrio, movilízate! seeks to collect these little individual potentials. The art project brings them together to transform them into collective projects and outcomes.More than 136.000.000.000 Peseta coins and 154.000.000.000 Peseta banknotes remain in peoples private property. Hucha de deseos: ¡Todos somos un barrio, movilízate! collects the Peseta1 coins and banknotes in a public collection site in Plaza Puerta de Moros, La Latina neighborhood for a four months period, from the 12 November 2009 to the end of February 2010. Along with the peseta collection, the project asks the neighborhood and the users of the neighborhood (visitors of the markets, bars, cafes) actively, what they would like to realize with this public and undervalued money in and for La Latina? During the event, the project will collect and publish to full extent wishes made by participants on both the project website, in the public media and in the neighbourhood. During the final month of February, the wishes will be presented in a daily public art action from 15-18 h on Paseo de Recoletos.The coins and banknotes are ongoingly counted and delivered to the Banco de España.On 27 February 2010 everybody who would like to be part of the decision making process and decision outcome, is invited to attend an Open Space event at Círculo de Bellas Artes. This one day event will be used to decide collectively what will happen to the pesetas and how this will be put into action.On 27th February 2010, 55 people met in el Circulo de Bellas Artes en Madrid. The reason was the final event of the public art project 'Hucha de deseos'. The neighbors of La Latina were invited to decide together, what will happen with the 512 collected wishes in and for La Latina and with the around 85 000 Pesetas, exchanged into 513.70 Euros.The Open Space event, titled 'La Latina quiere ser escuchada' reunited neighbors, students, high school students, children, activists, artists as well as teachers, interested observers and supporters of La Latina. After a vivid debate of five hours the following two decisions were made collectively: The multiple named wish of more green space in La Latina will be realized through planting numerous trees in the Cornisa Park on the 14th March 2010. The 'Asociacion Amigos de la Cornisa-Las Vestillas' will take care of the realization of this wish and received the money.The second wish is putting a letterbox on Plaza Puerta de Moros – the previous location of the hucha - in which any local associations can stay in contact, exchange ideas and inform each other of events. The plan is to put the info on a blog so that the local network will be strengthened. The collective zoohaus will create the letterbox.Madrid Abierto as the cultural association who commissioned this art project will initiate the permission process for the letterbox.The Hucha was removed on 28th Feb 2010 and is currently storaged to explore the possibilities to initiate the process in another neighborhood in Spain. Interested neighborhood may contact Madrid Abierto to explore the options.The public project started on 12th Nov 2009 and had created over the period of 3.5 months a massive dialogue among visitors and neighbors of La Latina, what they would like to change and better in the common public space of La Latina.

I will install Windows 7 on three laptops/netbooks which have used Vista / XP while all use the data stored in an (older) PC which will continue to operate under Windows XP. The network uses a combination of Ethernet and WLAN. The data is stored on a separate drive on the PC using two hard disks with back-up thanks to RAID. This arrangement has worked very successfully.
Is there anything I need to do when installing Windows 7 and configuring the network anew to ensure that access to the data continues as before and the user-friendliness for the laptop users remains as before .... OR IMPROVES .... when installing Windows 7 and taking advantage of its new features?
I have the book Windows 7 InsideOut but can't find a section which deals with this specifically.

Cognition and motivation in the theory of the firm
Title: | Cognition and motivation in the theory of the firm |
interaction or "never the twain shall meet"? | |
Author: | Foss, Nicolai J. |
Abstract: | Economics in general, and the theory of the firm more specifically, places motivation and cognition in very different analytical boxes, in spite of cognitive science evidence that the boundaries between the two are in reality blurred. While this analytical assumption has often served the theory of the firm well, a number of organizational phenomena are better understood if cognition and motivation are allowed to interact, for example, through framing effects, as organizational scholars have long argued. The paper exemplifies by developing the implications of this for Williamson's notion of the "impossibility of selective intervention." Keywords: The theory of the firm, cognitive and motivational varialtion, selective intervention. |

A quick non-too-technical post detailing the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) and how it works. No, I'm not affiliated with Cisco, I just work on UCS a lot!
What is a UCS?
Ok, well that's simple. It's a blade server system comprising of the following components:The power of the UCS is that it uses service profiles.
What is a Service Profile?
OK,well that's simple enough too. A service profile tells the UCS that a particular blade has a particular configuration. Here is an example service profile:The USP (Unique Selling Point) of the UCS is that these service profiles are MOBILE
Yes, the service profiles can be moved from blade to blade.
Think about it. MYSERVER1 uses UCS chassis 1, blade 1. UCS chassis 1, blade 1 suffers a hardware issue and dies a death.
No problem. I can move and apply the service profile for MYSERVER1 to another physical blade (say UCS chassis 3, blade 2), boot it up and away we go, we are back in business - service resumed no screaming users. I can then get the faulty blade's hardware fixed in slow time.
How is This Possible?
If you look again at my service profile screen shot above again, you will see that the NICs and HBA's are all prefixed with ' v '.This means that they are virtual.
Virtual Hardware (have you lost it Chris)?
Not quite. Bear with me.Each UCS blade is fitted with a Virtual Interface card. One of these:
The power of this card is that it can be configured through software to present physical hardware to the blade. In my case, two fibre cards (vHBAs) and two network cards (vNICs). Clever a?
Mobile Ports
So looking deeper into the service profile for MYSERVER1, you will see that the Service Profile also includes the physical addressing of the vHBAs, their WWPNs (World Wide Port Names) and vNICs, their MAC Addresses (Media Access Control Addresses):Also included in the Service Profile is MYSERVER1's UUID (Universally Unique Identifier):
Tying it All Together
So to recap, the WWPNs, MACs and UUID of MYSERVER1 are all held in a software (aka service) profile that is used to configure the hardware.So assuming all my blades have the correct amounts of CPU and memory, I can then apply that service profile to any physical blade I like.
From the comfort of my armchair in Cassa-Del-Chris, I have fixed a hardware issue and I have saved the day.
Boot Note
What about the local disks installed in MYSERVER1? Looking at this picture of a Cisco UCS blade it has local disks installed:Yes, it does.
If you move your service profile to another blade, don't you have to also physically move the local disks too?
Yes you do. And that means a trip to the datacentre just to move two disks, and an extended outage as far as the users are concerned. NOT GOOD!!!
Back to MYSERVER1 and the simple answer is that I'm not using the local disks. I have no local disks installed in any of my blades.
MYSERVER1 boots via it's vHBA cards direct from the SAN (Storage Area Network). Therefore to recover service to the users, I don't need to visit the data centre to swap any physical hardware.
No need to move from my armchair in Cassa-Del-Chris. Another Beer anyone?
- Chris

Donn Ya Doll
Donn Ya Doll in Istedgade is a multi-brand store in Copenhagen with a large selection and many styles, always with colours, patterns, edge and sculptural details.
The shop opened in 1997 with old hair dryers as lamps, aeroplane seats, dental chair and art wares. The style has changed since then and Donn Ya Doll is now more funky with things from the 60's.
Donn Ya Doll has around 30 brands such as Best Behavior, Anna Studio, Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, Nümph, Norgmark, Anniel and Black Lily.
You can also shop for leather bags and knitwear.

POLITICS: The Roving Eye
At least one Reuters cameraman might consider moving his focus a little higher: I dunno, Crank. Your gal's got a nice pair of legs. It's not like anyone wants to listen to any of the nonsense she actually says. If Gonzo had gams like that, maybe I'd give him a listen too. (Rove, on the other hand, we want to hear.) Posted by: Mike at March 22, 2007 1:29 PMCorrection Mike. I would be happier if we NEVER heard from Rove again. Posted by: Daryl Rosenblatt at March 22, 2007 6:02 PMI have a secret crush on Condi. I ain't afraid to admit it, especially after seeing those legs. One has to question the motives of the al Reuters photographer, but I like the legs. YES, I date. Plenty. So haters. . .save it. Posted by: John at March 22, 2007 6:07 PMReally, Daryl? You don't want to hear Karl's version of things under "the klieg lights," as his boss call them, on Capitol Hill next week? I do. Very much. Though I agree with you that I hope we never hear another word from him forever after. Posted by: Mike at March 22, 2007 7:27 PMYes, taking the picture was tasteless. Even more tasteless was the editorial decision to publish it. No matter what the picture shows, though, Condi was one of very few people on the Hill that day with any balls. Posted by: jimbo at March 23, 2007 1:35 PMThe really damning thing about that picture is that the photographer didn't even manage to get her entire head in the shot. Posted by: Jerry at March 23, 2007 2:12 PMIn the photographer's defense, the photographers are positioned between the witness and the committee members and have to kneel down. Those shots are inevitable. Posted by: WD at March 24, 2007 12:00 AMIt's a well framed shot, which I think shoots down any 'accidental' argument. Publishing it fits the overall frame that we're presented with the sex appeal (?) of the messenger rather than the evil message itself. ----- Rokusan, Best post in a long time. Made me laugh before I even had coffee. Posted by: jim at March 24, 2007 10:54 AM |

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — There was hardly a shot Georgetown's Otto Porter Jr. couldn't make in Saturday's ear-splitting, emotionally charged showdown against longtime foe Syracuse. He drained three-pointers as the shot clock expired. He hit a jump shot while sandwiched between two defenders, one of them dangling on his arm.
With his 33-point performance, the sophomore forward led 11th-ranked Georgetown to a 57-46 win over the No. 8 Orange and claimed a place alongside the great individual performers in the Big East's most heated rivalry — players such as Patrick Ewing, Michael Sweetney and Sleepy Floyd, who hit the two free throws that clinched the 52-50 upset that started the bitter feud 33 years earlier.

Karesansui 1.0: Web-Based Management for Xen Guests
The Japanese software project Karesansui has released the first version of its open source software. The Web console allows management of virtual systems under Xen.
Karesansui provides creation of virtual guests and starting, suspending and shutting down the VM. It also takes snapshots and assigns CPU and RAM resources.
A tutorial with screenshots describes the installation, configuration and use of Karesansui. The project recommends using the free Enterprise Linux CentOS 5.3 or later as the host platform.
The open source application includes the libvirt virtualization library, Python, the Lighttpd web server, the Tightvncviewer VNC client and various JQuery JavaScript libraries for a dynamic Web interface. The vital components are under LGPL, others under GPL or MIT license.
The source code for Karensansui 1.0.0 is on SourceForge.jp as RPM packages or executable binary installer. Karesansui is the Japanese word for the living work of art and mind-scape known as a rock or Zen garden.
There's a lot better
I wonder what's the goal of such project, when everything it does can be done on the command line. It's yet another web interface that wont give any help to hosting customers. Nothing to compare to this project:

FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 2006COMING SATURDAY Animation news, Superman Returns, First Looks and much more!!!
Following his public unmasking in Civil War #2, Spider-Man will be featured in a series of stories under the "Spider-Man Unmasked" umbrella in upcoming months.
"Spider-Man Unmasked" tie-ins will run through Sensational Spider-Man #28-32, and the covers of each issue will display a banner signifying them as tie-in issues.
Here's how Marvel describes Sensational Spider-Man #28, a stand-alone issue due in stores on July 12:
"The repercussions of that life-changing decision will be shown as it relates to those in Peter Parker's life. In a story called 'My Science Teacher is Spider-Man,' you see Peter's students dealing with the fact that their nice and boring science teacher has actually been one of the world's preeminent super-heroes.
His students aren't the only ones shown dealing with the revelation as Doctor Octopus, quite possibly Spider-Man's greatest nemesis, shows up to confront Parker. Needless to say, Doc Ock isn't showing up to offer congratulations.
The issue is written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, wth digitally painted art by Clayton Crain.

SUPERMAN: BRAINIAC ATTACKSSuperman: Brainiac Attacks, which will be released on DVD on Tuesday, will premiere on Cartoon Network on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. (ET/PT).
Here's how Warner Bros. describes the film:
"Superman, about to finally divulge his identity and his feelings to Lois Lane, suddenly finds his mighty hands full when Brainiac, a powerful computer, bent on universal domination and Lex Luthor team up to defeat him. Armed with new weapons and a special strain of kryptonite infused in his body, Brainiac becomes the most powerful enemy The Man of Steal has ever faced. When Lois Lane is critically injured by a force beam that was intended for him, Superman must race into the mysterious Phantom Zone to find a cure. Brianiac, believing Superman to be dead, betrays Lex Luthor and begins his attack on the city of Metropolis and ultimately Earth. Will Superman survive the Phantom Zone in order to defeat his deadly foes, save Lois and Metropolis?"
Tim Daly, who provided the voice of Superman in the 1990s animated series on Kids' WB!, returns as the Man of Steel. The cast also includes Dana Delany as Lois Lane, Powers Boothe as Lex Luthor, Lance Henriksen as Brainiac, David Kaufman as Jimmy Olsen, George Dzundza as Perry White, Mike Farrell as Jonathan Kent and Shelley Fabares as Martha Kent.
The film's story is by Christopher Simmons and Duane Capizzi, with a screenplay by Capizzi. Curt Geda is director, Susan Blu is voice director and Thomas Chase Jones provides the music.
Although the movie's designs are based upon those of the television series, it does not appear to be in the continuity of the series, as characters -- most noticably Luthor, Brainiac and Lois -- act differently.

EZRA MODEL WINNERSean O�Reilly, Arcana Studio editor-in-chief, announced on Friday that Alexandra Janicek has won the Epic Ezra Model Search.
The selection of Janicek coincides with the release of Ezra vs. 10th Muse #1 in July, which pits Arcana�s ivory-skinned mercenary, Ezra, against Blue Water Productions' mythological beauty, 10th Muse.
Janicek beat out 29 other models to win the role. "Being Ezra appeals to me because she seems dangerous, powerful and sexy," she said. "I am quite excited that I won and I look forward to learning more and being a part of this intriguing world!�
Janicek appears with 10th Muse model Cindy Margolis on the cover of the crossover book.
In the story, the medieval mercenary targets Medusa, the sworn enemy of the 10th Muse. However, the 10th Muse is forced to stop Ezra and save Medusa to prevent history from unraveling.

Election of 1980: The Year of the Conservative Comeback |
The election of 1976 had brought Jimmy Carter to the White House as a different kind of Southern Democrat. His domestic policies failed to resonate with the American public and his standing as an international leader was badly damaged by the Iranian hostage drama that began in 1979 and continued until after the inauguration of his successor.
Nevertheless, the Democrats were not inclined to switch allegiance from an incumbent and Carter had no difficulty securing his party`s nomination. On the Republican side, the contest to oppose Carter was very active. Ronald Reagan had emerged from the 1976 as the clear favorite of the conservative wing. His opponents included George H.W. Bush, an Eastern establishment candidate, and John Anderson, a progressive Republican. Reagan was successful in the primaries, causing Anderson to drop out of the Republican Party altogether and Bush to switch some positions in order to remake himself as a running mate for Reagan.
As the campaign began in earnest after the conventions, Carter held a lead over Reagan, but Reagan did well in debates and was able to overcome the perception that he held radical positions that would be a danger to the country. In November, the voters entrusted him with the Presidency, and initiated a period of twelve years of Republican control of the White House.

Do your eyes roll back in your head and you hear a loud buzzing sound in your ears when people talk about new bottom bracket standards? We are with you. Weve ridden standard, run-of-the-mill, external bearing bottom brackets in great bikes. Weve raced square taper bottom brackets and never thought, I would have won that race if only there was a new bottom bracket standard! This of course, doesnt mean there arent appreciable gains to be made with wider, stiffer, and lighter bottom brackets, it just means its not the primary feature that delivers performance and it certainly isnt sexy.
It is for this reason we think the BB386EVO standard in Wilier-Triestinas all new Zero.7, as great as it may be, has stolen some thunder from the new bike. The Zero.7 is replacing the Cento1, after all. The Cento1 was painstakingly developed by Wilier over the last seven years, becoming one of the finest and most respected bikes in the peloton. The reputation Wilier now holds as one of the best manufacturers in the world was built largely on the Cento1s back. Replacing that with a wholly new bike is big news. To let a new bottom bracket standard usurp that limelight doesnt seem right.
Creating a New Standard
Wiliers goal for the new bike were very simple, create a new standard for race bikes. We said simple, not easy or humble. We typically write this kind of talk off to hyperbole invented by marketing men, not engineers. With the Cento1 in their back pocket, we take a statement like this seriously from Wilier. How did the Italians go about trying to achieve this?
The first item on the checklist was weight and a fully painted medium Zero.7 weighs less than 800 grams, which is where the name comes from. Put it on the scale and it will say 0.799 kilos at worst while advertised weight is 750grams. With Cannondale and Cervelo doing battle in under 700 gram territory this number doesnt set a new standard for race bikes, but it does set a new standard for Italian race bikes. Wilier first began experimenting with super lightweight on the Cento1 Superleggera and those lessons have been utilized from page one of the Zero.7s design.
The primary building block of the Zero.7 is 60-ton carbon. The reality of this high modulus material is along with its stiffness and lack of mass comes a brittle nature. To make it reliable and more rideable a lot of lower modulus carbon was blended into the Cento1s frame, which upped the weight. For the Zero.7, Wilier found a way around this using two novel technologies, nano-particles and something called Special Elastic Infiltrated Film. Nano-additives we know, Bianchi uses them, as do a few other manufacturers. They give the resin itself structure, stopping micro cracks between carbon layers from occurring and making the bike more robust overall. The elastic film Wilier uses is laid up within the mold, between carbon layers, and according to Wilier reduces vibration and adds strength, in short the things lower modulus carbon does, but with less weight. Zipp has been using similar visco-elastic technology successfully for years in their wheels and handlebars.
While these are the key features that allow Wilier to go so light there are a slew of other technologies at work on the bike. The bike uses Large Inflated Tube technology in place of the standard bladder typically used in a monocoque construction and Wilier claims it produces a more even compaction of the carbon layers, similar to some of the smooth interior wall technologies other manufacturers use. The rear dropouts are molded as one piece with the rest of the rear triangle, which saves weight over glued or bolted dropouts. While the steer tube is tapered Wilier found that with the stiffer carbon blend of the Zero.7 they could use a one-and-an eight to one-and-a-quarter steer tube instead of the more common one-and-half-inch lower bearing and still get the desired lateral stiffness with more compliance, front to back. Like the Cento1 the bike has asymmetric rear chain stays, optimized for power transfer on the drive side.
There are two features that appear to be slight retreats where technology is concerned, one we love and one we are not thrilled with. Instead of the integrated seat mast of the Cento1, Wilier has utilized a standard 31.6 seat post. We think this is a move in the right direction and more evidence that the integrated seat mast will soon be a relic of the past.
The other feature is completely external cable routing. Wilier feels any benefits to internal cables are offset by the extra weight reinforcing the drilled frame requires but we cant help but think it looks a bit old fashioned these days.
Bottom Brackets and Real Estate
We avoided it as long as we could, but now its time to talk bottom brackets. The BB386EVO standard was created in partnership with FSA and BH bikes. It uses a 30mm spindle like a BB30, but is a whopping 86.5mm wide with a 46mm BB opening. What is interesting is the new standard is designed to make frames stiffer not cranks. The wide BB shell simply provides more real estate for big down tubes and chain stays, which are really the foundation of a bikes stiffness. While Trek has been running even wider 90mm wide BB shells on their Madones for a few years it is a proprietary standard. BB386EVO is open standard and FSA certainly hopes it catches on.
So what does this new standard deliver on the road? Its hard to quantify exactly what is responsible for a bikes power transfer, and on any bike, the Zero.7 included, there are numerous factors that help create it. How good is that power transfer on the Zero.7? The best we have ever ridden, maybe the best ever made. The effect of stamping on the pedals and feeling the sensation on instant drive is scintillating on the Zero.7. We frequently say a bike delivers 100% of your power to the road. We wont say that anymore, not unless we are riding a Wilier Zero.7. It has set a new bar we will measure every other bike from. There is simply no tendency for the crank to want to tuck under, even a millimeter, through the entire power phase of the pedal stroke. At efforts of up to 1600 watts the Zero.7 asked for more power to turn into speed. Is the new BB responsible for all of this? Of course not, is it responsible for some of it? Probably. What ever created it, we want it.
Heres the other thing about the Zero.7. That power came in an XXL package that weighed 14.8lbs with pedals and cages built with Super Record 11, Fulcrum Racing Zero 2-Way Fit wheels, FSA cockpit and unlike some of the dire predictions on the web, the bike came with Super Record cranks, not FSA. Take the power transfer, combine it with the lightweight, and the Zero.7 is deadly while climbing. Throw out your compact, get rid of your 28 tooth cog. You wont need them. What you will need is new riding buddies after you make them suffer like dogs when the road points up.
Wilier has invested this new racer with angles slightly steeper than what may be thought of as traditionally Italian, at least on the larger sizes. At 73.5-degress the head tube is the same angle as the Cento1 but the Zero.7 has a considerably shorter head tube and slightly longer chain stays. It creates a more high-strung feeling in the cockpit with a lot of weight forward. While perfect for the rider looking to flick from wheel to wheel in a tight bunch, or change lines quickly sprinting for the line, a rider looking for stability at high speed or a bike that will stick to its line automatically descending will find the Zero.7 requires more of a steady hand than they might like.
All of this performance would be useless to mere mortals, also known as consumers, if it beat us to pieces. The Cento1 set an incredibly high bar when it came to creating power that played nicely with compliance and the Zero.7 actually takes this even farther. The special elastic layer could be responsible for this, but whatever it is, after five hours of race simulation through Southern California mountains we had no complaints. This seems to be a trend with the latest elite level carbon bikes, we finally get a measure of true compliance with all of that power transfer. If this is the direction carbon development is taking we couldnt be happier.
The Rider
You want to experience what just may be the greatest level of power transfer achieved in a road frame. You like that power in a tight and aggressive package that makes no bones about being high strung and race ready. But youre greedy and want some long mile comfort with it and are prepared to pay handsomely to get it.

Fall get-aways and front doors.
Andy and I enjoyed a wonderful get away on Friday night.
It was a belated celebration of our 17 years together!
We farmed each kid out to a different friend's house and then took the short drive into Atlanta.
It felt so good to slowly make our way there.
Do you ever feel like you're rushing to school, from school, through homework and dinner and soccer practice?
Not rushing felt good.
We stopped at Atlantic Station near downtown and enjoyed lunch and shopping.
We actually picked up a few things from Ikea that we've been wanting to pick up.
...tea lights to use all during fall, a rug for the area right inside from the garage, and some new glassware.
We might have been the last people on earth still using large plastic cups from Walmart. try not to judge.
We also picked up two of their famous white, comfy chairs.
We're making a few changes in our family room over the next couple of months, and those chairs were on the list.
They are currently sitting with white sheets sprawled out over them.
Why? Because I didn't want to throw them into culture shock with our family.
I thought I'd ease them into life here. I sure hope it really is as easy as everyone says it is with white furniture.
*I'll keep you posted*
After we left Ikea, we headed to Buckhead to check into our hotel.
Would you believe it if I told you that we took a nap? It was glorious.
I can't tell you the last time we were able to take a nap together. I highly recommend it.
Afterwards, we took a long walk together and then made our way to a very nice dinner.
We always leave these weekends wondering why we don't do them more often.
So needed. So good for our marriage.
We eased back into Athens just in time to get our kids back and pile in front of the tv for the UGA game.
In the first half, it looked like we were going to win by a landslide, and then Tennessee came back fighting.
We spent the whole second half on our feet jumping, screaming, and biting our nails.
Okay. No one else in my family did, but I was going crazy!!!
On more than one occasion, the boys had to tell me to bring it down ten or so notches.
We pulled off a WIN in the last two minutes of the game with a score of 34-31.
I think I might have missed my calling as a sports broadcaster.
How was your weekend? Did you rest or run ragged or a little bit of both?
Do you have your mums and pumpkins and fall wreaths outside your front door?
The look of our front door is a little deceptive...it LOOKS fall, but the past several days have been warm here.
That's October in North Georgia. Crisp and cool in the mornings and evenings but warm in the middle.
{thankful for}
816. friends we trust, who keep our kids, while we steal away for a night.
817. rest and relaxation.

MARTIN COUNTY — Health experts have identified two new locally-acquired dengue fever cases in the Rio and Jensen Beach areas, with one of them showing an onset of symptoms beginning last week.
"We are still not out of the woods," Karlette Peck, Health Officer with the Florida Department of Health in Martin County, said Wednesday. "We still have the potential for mosquito transmission of dengue fever locally."
That brings the total cases to 20 since three were first announced Aug. 14.
The two new cases were confirmed during routine surveillance and not during the ongoing door-to-door community survey of a targeted 700 residences in Jensen Beach and Rio, said Renay Rouse, public information officer for the state Department of Health in Martin County.
Gene Lemire, director of Martin County mosquito control, on Wednesday said officials continue spraying the Rio and Jensen Beach areas.
"We're on the offensive," he said. "We're up in the Rio area every day."
Officials announced three cases Aug. 14 and by Sept. 5 there were five times as many. Three more cases were announced Sept. 12 — the same date one of the two cases announced Wednesday experienced an onset of symptoms, according to Peck.
The cases announced Wednesday extend the range of the onset of symptoms from June 16 to Sept. 12.
Dengue fever, which is common in areas such as Haiti and Puerto Rico, is spread by mosquitoes, as opposed to person to person.
Travelers to areas where dengue is endemic can return with the disease, and then it can be transmitted by mosquito to another person. That's apparently what happened in a 2011 case in Martin County. Still, such cases here are rare.
Dengue symptoms can include high fever, pain behind the eyes, rash, mild bleeding from the gums and nose and bone and joint pain. There aren't vaccines to prevent dengue infection, nor is there a specific medication for treatment of dengue, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
Teams of health professionals on Sept. 13 began trying to survey and get blood samples from about 300 people in the Rio and Jensen Beach areas. About 700 residences were randomly selected, and officials created a second list after teams found vacant properties with homeowners out of the area.
"It was a surprise to me how seasonal those two areas really are," Peck said. "Among the people that are home ... everyone has been, for the most part, fairly cooperative."
Peck said they've been able to survey and take blood samples from about 200 people.
She's concerned, though, that too many people in the communities are not heeding advice about taking precautions.
They "are kind of blasé about the insect repellent and the protective mechanisms of dumping, tipping and tossing things in the yard (to eliminate standing water and stop mosquitoes from multiplying)," Peck said. "The biggest challenge is getting people to take this seriously."
Lemire said not much is being found in terms of larvae or adult mosquitoes.
"We're going to keep at it as long as we hear we've got new cases," Lemire said.
The community survey is similar to one conducted in 2009 in the Key West area after a dengue outbreak, Rouse said.
Previous Key West cases
There, team members interviewed and took blood from 240 residents in the Old Town area, according to the Florida Department of Health.
A total of 22 people were identified as having dengue in Key West during the summer and fall of 2009. In 2010, there were 66 cases of locally acquired dengue fever associated with Key West.

As you travel northeast from Chiang Rai, you will arrive at a bustling border town beside the enormous Mae Khong River. The people here actively engage in fishing, farming and weaving, and sell exquisite handwoven fabrics in the local markets. Some tribal villages (Hmong and Yao tribes) still exist in the area, so this is your chance to witness their traditional way of life. Just across the river is Laos, easily accessible by boat. Foreigners should check with the Immigration or Tourist Police for entry regulations. Though it is possible to make this a day trip, it would be much less demanding to return to Chiang Mai the following day.
